This fully re-walked and completely updated 6th edition
Trailblazer guide is built around what Trailblazer does best:
large-scale, route-led mapping that you can follow directly on the
trail. With walking times, accommodation, food stops and key landmarks
shown on the map itself, there is no need to switch between text, apps
or additional maps – everything you need is in one book.
Strider, the magazine of the Long Distance Walkers Association calls it
“a high-quality walking guide in every aspect.” (April ’26)
Ideal for keen, experienced walkers and for those planning their first
multiday walk, the guide supports walkers who prefer to plan their own
days rather than follow rigid stages. Clear route guidance, flexible
itineraries and practical planning advice give you the confidence to
walk the trail your way.
Inside this Trailblazer guide you’ll find:

the path”
